An amazing tour to discover two jewels of Salento (the peninsular area of Puglia): Lecce (called the Florence of the South thanks to the abundance of its architecture and listed by Lonely Planet in the top ten of the cities to visit) and Otranto (listed by Unesco as a Culture of Peace Messenger Site). There are several ways to enjoy this area: thanks to my long-standing experience (as tour guide, nature guide, wine and olive oil sommelier) I'll do my best to help you to fall in in love for this places like me. You can be fascinated by its history dating back form the Bronze Age, the elegance of its architecture, the lively atmosphere, the picturesque spots, the romantic lighthouse, the unique landscape of the former bauxite quarry, the hidden secrets of the dolmens and menhirs (prehistoric megalithic monuments) scattered in the countryside, the dramatic views from the coast, the terrific food and wine.
